About Summer Study Abroad
Studying abroad during the summer can be an excellent academic opportunity. A summer program is also an alternative for those who unable to study abroad during the academic year or who wish to supplement a semester or year abroad.
There are many ways to spend your summer — why not spend it in another country accomplishing academic and professional goals? You can:
- Pursue an academic internship
- Complete major/minor requirements
- Fulfill general university or core requirements
- Improve world language skills and/or fulfill global engagement requirements in that culture
- Engage with another culture
Come to a study abroad event or meet with a Study Abroad advisor to learn more about what other students have done in past summers.
